PhD Student per el Barcelona Supercomputing Center

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a hosting member of the PRACE European distributed supercomputing infrastructure. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 770 staff from 55 countries.

Applications are invited for PhD student positions at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). The PhD student will become a member of a world class research group that frequently contributes to top computer architecture and high-performance computing venues (E.g. SC, ISCA, HPCA, HPDC, or PPoPP).

Research activities will be focused on one or several of the following topics, among others:

1. Virtual memory management: Acceleration of virtual to physical address translation, hardware support for OS, management of irregular workloads.

2. High-performance computing architectures: Acceleration of floating-point intensive workloads via reconfigurable or vector processors.

3. Cache management policies for graph and strongly irregular workloads.

4. Numerical libraries for scientific computing with focus on long vector architectures.

Experience in some of these topics is strongly appreciated.
